Returning to '97, creating a new life

Yunshang stood up, glanced out the window, grabbed Xu Kai's down jacket, and ran out after him.

At the base of the wall outside the back wall, five or six men were holding Hu Yuxuan up, and one of them punched him twice in the stomach, making him afraid to resist. If he resisted, he would be hit even harder.

The two punches landed hard, and with two people supporting him from both sides, Hu Yuxuan lowered his head, frowned, and was out of breath from the blows.

"What are you doing?"

The girls who were with him tried to stop them, but they were scared by the glares from those men and dared not step forward. They could only shout for help after they had carried Hu Yuxuan away.

Xu Kai was the fastest and caught up immediately.

The other two heard the running sound behind them, and they turned around, still trying to scare away the nosy students by acting like adults.

"roll!"

Xu Kai didn't listen at all, and the two of them didn't expect that the guy who ran over didn't even stop for a moment.

While running, he swung his arm and threw a punch.

A fighter who doesn't keep their feet on the ground and keeps throwing flying kicks is not good at fighting.

Taking advantage of the opponent's momentary daze while he was running forward, he knocked one down with a single punch. After stopping, he turned around and threw another punch at the other.

Tall and strong, and with a sudden attack, both of Xu Kai's moves were effective. Moreover, Xu Kai was quite strong; one punch to the face sent the man sprawling to the ground, and another punch to the stomach sent the man crouching down, clutching his stomach in pain.

"roll!"

The leader pulled out a spring clip from his lower back, broke it open, and viciously drove Xu Kai away.

As Xu Kai got closer, he could see clearly that there were six people in total, not much older than him, with dyed yellow hair and strange clothes. People dressed like that were everywhere in the roller skating rink, computer arcades, and game arcades. The last few years of the 1990s were basically the years with the most young people in society. There were no more technical schools or vocational schools to arrange jobs or so-called succession, so there were many young people under the age of twenty who were unemployed. They had nothing to do on weekdays and spent their days hanging out in places like arcades.

Although he was convinced that the other person was just bluffing with a switchblade, Xu Kai didn't dare to actually test the other person's limits. What if they were the kind of person who would act impulsively without considering the consequences? A wise man avoids dangerous situations, and he should act within his capabilities when helping others.

Judging from the situation, if they don't help, Hu Yuxuan might get a beating, but not too badly, mostly just a few slaps on the head and a slap on the face. But if they help, it might trigger a rash reaction from the other party, and who knows what might happen.

Xu Kai laughed and took a step back: "Dude, this is my classmate. What are you guys trying to do?"

"Get lost." The other party didn't even respond.

A swift and decisive victory is needed; ruthlessness will deter potential meddlers.

Wow, this one's experienced.

Just then, Dong Bin, Fei Wenxin, and others rushed out. Fei Wenxin was quick-witted; as he rushed out, he grabbed the old mop that had been thrown away in the corner by the door.

Xu Kai glanced around; they were all on the same team, and his movement was immediately understood by the others.

Fei Wenxin was quick-witted. He swung the mop, still wet, and smashed it over the leader's head. Not to mention that he only had a switchblade in his hand, he wouldn't have been able to deal with it even if he had a machete.

The damage value isn't high, but the attack coverage and effect are truly extraordinary.

Instinctively, he raised his hand to block, and the soft cloth of the mop head slapped down on his head, splashing dirty mud and water all over his face. Xu Kai took a step forward and grabbed the other man's right forearm, which was gripping the spring clip, with both hands. He wouldn't take this lightly; it was definitely a case of the rabbit kicking the eagle.

Grasp it, exert force. If the other party uses a knife, it's okay to deal with them more aggressively. But make sure you won't encounter similar danger yourself, and directly twist the other party's wrist.

Xu Kai used his strength, still with both hands, and with a muffled thud, the other person cried out in pain as the spring clip fell to the ground.

Dong Bin, Fei Wenxin, and several other members of the sports team who were the first to rush over saw Xu Kai taking the lead and they all rushed forward as well.

Young and energetic, they had a clear advantage in numbers. Even if it was just shoving, these few wouldn't be able to withstand it. What's more, that bastard Fei Wenxin was cunning. When there were many people, his long legs would kick people's calves and knees repeatedly. In just a few kicks, they would be kneeling on the ground, surrounded by a group of tall and strong sports team members and the boys who gradually surrounded them.

"Old Hu, is something wrong?"

Hu Yuxuan waved his hand, clutched his stomach, and frowned: "Damn, that guy really went all out."

"Old Hu, what's going on?" Xu Kai asked quickly as he approached Hu Yuxuan.

Hu Yuxuan frowned, understanding immediately, and shook her head: "I don't know them, so I don't know what you mean?"

Xu Kai nodded, glanced around, and helped Hu Yuxuan up.

The leader's wrist was broken by Xu Kai, and the matter was no longer easy to handle. After reporting to the police, Xu Kai, Hu Yuxuan, and Fei Wenxin, who was wielding a mop, all went to the station to give statements.

"I don't know them. They came in and told me to go with them. When I refused, they punched me twice and forced me to go with them."

"Hu Yuxuan is our basketball teammate. I couldn't just stand by and watch him get beaten up. I knocked down two of them, and the leader pulled out a switchblade and threatened me to mind my own business. My teammate Fei Wenxin and a lot of other students came out to help. Fei Wenxin used a mop to restrain the guy with the knife for a moment, and I rushed up and grabbed his wrist. I had to control him immediately, and I probably used too much force while twisting it..."

To be frank, some people even asked Xu Kai, in a more professional way, why he wasn't afraid of such a thing, and why he dared to rush forward when he saw someone holding a knife.

Reasonable suspicion, normal inquiry.

Soon, a call came from above, and the person arrived.

Hu Yuxuan came to Songcheng on a whim, but his elders at home wouldn't let him be left to his own devices. They sent a nanny to take care of him.

Hu Yuxuan's father also found a business partner whose business covered Songcheng and asked him to help take care of her. When Hu Yuxuan had the accident, the person was not in Songcheng, but he had already called the relevant person. The person had not only called the relevant superior unit, but also went directly to the police station.

Okay!

Those six young men weren't even at the level of unemployed individuals registered with the police station. They were just dropouts like Song Jun and Ma Xin, who had been hanging around for a few years and were just acting tough among their peers.

They had initially kept quiet out of loyalty, thinking that if they could withstand it, it would be something to brag about later, a chance to gain a good reputation. The officers at the station ignored them, but when it came time to take action, they directly asked some professional questions and threatened them, then notified their families and explained the severity of the situation. The guys couldn't hold back anymore. What kind of nonsense is this, kidnapping someone? We just wanted to teach this guy a lesson.

In fact, experienced old folks can understand what's going on with just a few words when they encounter similar situations.

After the matter was investigated and clarified, Xu Kai could only pat Hu Yuxuan on the shoulder and say, "Dude, you're just like me back then. This is an undeserved disaster."
